Magnolia (Paul Thomas Anderson, 1999)
BY: Steven Garber
How do we make sense of a movie like Magnolia? First things first. I would never say to someone, “See this movie!” Some of those I love most in this world have not seen it, nor do they need to see it.

Magnolia (Paul Thomas Anderson, 1999)
BY: Jeremy Huggins
One day, several lives, a lot of pain, and one thing connecting them all. Are they connected by their misery, by chance, by blood, or by something bigger?

This year spring came late to southern Minnesota, and when it arrived it brought chilly temperatures, cloudy skies, and lots of rain. Whether it is because of these factors or something entirely different I don't know, but 2013 has turned out to be The Year of the Morel. If you have never sampled these delicious mushrooms, you are in for a treat. We've found them on more than one walk in the woods, and so feel we have had a special opportunity to experience one of the wonders of creation.
Morels, goldfinches, a well crafted film, an iris bursting into bloom, a chance for an unhurried conversation in a safe place--such glimmers of hope help us flourish as persons in this broken world. These are the sort of things we are concerned with at Ransom. Thanks for visiting.
